Josh O'Brien
Camera and Drone Operator

When it comes to my other passions, theres are many, but, my main on the side of studying film is photography.

I have been taking photos for around 9 years now; when I was younger I would steal my mums camera (taking photos of plants/toys anything I found interesting) until I was able to get my own.

 

I have a keen eye for angles and moments where a quality photo can be taken, I have an Instagram page that hosts over 250 of my photos. My skill with a camera has landed me jobs working for secondary school events, athletic competions as well as Comic Con Dubai.

​

I usually have something able to take a photo on me, if its either my DLSR, Go Pro, Phone, and most recently a Phantom Drone. Out of all the technology I posses I favour my drone over the rest, although my DSLR has Beene my counterpart for the last 4 years, being able to take photos and videos at 300M is unreal.

​

As I am studying film and shooting videos, I get the opportunity to see new and different locations, which is also an opportunity to explore and discover photographic places.

​

An example of my work that started with photography is the video of me flying through L'Ardèche with my drone. I originally ent up to take photos of the French valley, but the colour of the water and the rock formations deserved a mystical fly through.
